§ 1. Colonel Wedgwoodasked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government will now review their request to the Rumanian Government to refuse passage of Jewish refugees over the Polish-Rumanian frontier, where 600 are now starving at the present time?
§ The Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Butler)His Majesty's Government are not prepared in present circumstances to invite the Rumanian Government to modify their policy regarding the passage of Jewish refugees through Rumanian territory.
§ Colonel WedgwoodIs it not a fact that the Rumanian policy was initiated under pressure from His Majesty's Government, and could we not cease this anti-Semitism now that we are really at war with Hitler?
§ Mr. ButlerWe have left Rumanian policy to the discretion of the Rumanian Government. It is true that His Majesty's Government made a request to the Rumanian Government to that effect.
